Signs of tuberculosis or pneumonia

November 13 / 2025

 

A chronic cough doesn't necessarily mean a cold. It could be a sign of tuberculosis or pneumonia, which have similar but distinct symptoms.

Tuberculosis: Chronic cough, night sweats, weight loss.

Pneumonia: High fever, chills, chest pain, and shortness of breath.

If you experience any unusual symptoms, see a doctor immediately for a chest x-ray and confirmation.

The sooner you know, the faster treatment can be provided and the more likely you are to spread the infection.
